From the recording Whodunit
Ballad about a murder without a motive, truth being stranger than fiction. Waltz with keyboards, drums, bass, strings.
Lyrics
Think about a person and an event that changes her life
Let her take command without mercy and watch her inner strife
Probe the depths of lust and guilt
Drive the suffering up to the hilt
And never lose out of sight
That truth is stranger than fiction
Pluck a small world from your mind and make it alive in ten days
Cut out every word which describes a mood in too many ways
Try a style that’s short and clear
Use a pencil without any fear
And never lose out of sight
That truth is stranger than fiction
Yes, truth is stranger than fiction
While it may seem a contradiction
So never lose out of sight
That truth is stranger than fiction
Beneath the illusion of a happy household
Lies many pitiful story to be told
Ten thousand women and no plan
Is a sad analysis of modern man
Strange
Live fast and only for the money
Be inspired by your own destiny
And never lose out of sight
That truth is stranger than fiction
Truth is stranger than fiction
Truth is stranger than fiction
